Is there any chance of us hearing any of your mother's story about her flight?
Yes there is. Gimme a couple of weeks while I lick the account into shape. We would be happy to share the flight part (the "Horseshoe" route I think) with the PPRuNe provided it's OK with the author. This is actually not my mother but one of the WAAF girls she was posted with to the Middle East Command in Cairo; the story is an extract from her wartime diary. She would have to be close to 90 and I'm checking with her now...
